[Verse 1]
I got a lot on my mind
I got a lot on my plate
And it's all my fault
I don't make a lot of time these days
'Tween the running and the gunning
Always seems to be something that's stopping me
From calling back home 'cause I know that phone ain't always gonna ring

[Chorus]
I'm gonna call him while he still picks up
Gonna ask 'em if he ever killed that buck
We saw last fall on Hoover Mason road
Did he keep that truck or did he let it go?
Did he catch a fish and did he catch the game?
Is he praying for sun or is he praying for rain?
We can talk all day or we ain't gotta say much
But I'm gonna call him while he still picks up

[Verse 2]
He's gonna ask about her
I'm gonna have to let him know
I'm gonna have to hear him say
"Well that's thе way love goes"
We'll laugh for a whilе, swear I could hear him smile on the other end of the line
I'll say "I gotta go", I'll say I won't wait so long next time
[Chorus]
I'm gonna call him while he still picks up
Gonna ask 'em if he ever killed that buck
We saw last fall on Hoover Mason road
Did he keep that truck or did he let it go?
Did he catch a fish and did he catch the game?
Is he praying for sun or is he praying for rain?
We can talk all day or we ain't gotta say much
But I'm gonna call him while he still picks up

[Bridge]
Yeah, one of these days he ain't gonna say "Hello"
So tell me and I'm gonna go

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm gonna call him while he still picks up
Gonna ask 'em if he ever killed that buck
We saw last fall on Hoover Mason road
Did he keep that truck or did he let it go?
Did he catch a fish and did he catch the game?
Is he praying for sun or is he praying for rain?
We can talk all day or we ain't gotta say much
Yeah, right about now I oughta give him a buzz
Call him while he still picks up
While he still picks up
